A quiet ranch B&B on Yosemite's edge, hot tub and homemade breakfast included.
Red Tail Ranch is a bed-and-breakfast on a working ranch property in Groveland, right at the edge of Yosemite National Park. Hosts Deborah and Kevin have built a reputation for genuine hospitality — the property holds a 4.9-star rating from 123 reviews, with guests consistently praising the quiet setting, the hot tub, and Deborah's homemade breakfast.
Accommodations range from private guest rooms to the standalone Meadow House, which looks out over the ranch's private meadow, plus a campground option for guests who want to stay outdoors. Every stay includes access to a hot tub and fire pit, and guests have described an outdoor barn living space used for gathering and relaxing after a day in the park. Deborah serves a full breakfast each morning at 8am, a detail multiple guests call out as a highlight of their stay.
The ranch sits in a private, rural setting outside Groveland, with downtown Groveland's restaurants about a 20-minute drive away and Yosemite Valley roughly an hour's drive. Guests can walk on-property trails to spot birds during the day, and reviewers note clear night skies for stargazing along with regular wildlife sightings around the property.

We absolutely love this place! This was our second stay here, and once again everything was wonderful. The home is clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The hosts are friendly and responsive. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great stay, and we would be happy to come back again in the future!

I stayed at the campground and it was such a beautiful spot! Nature-lovers paradise. This place is quiet, comfortable, charming, and the hosts are so kind, down-to-earth, and knowledgeable about the local area and Yosemite. They take great care of the property. I really enjoyed the outdoor barn living space and the hiking trails to see lots of birds. I highly recommend booking a visit or an event here! Thanks!!

Fantastic experience staying here. Perfect location to visit Yosemite. Room was spacious, clean and well kept. Beautiful at night with all the stars and lots of wildlife during the day. We didn't use the amenities but there was access to a hot tub and BBQ. Location is great for Yosemite and a few local restaurants to get food after a long day exploring the park.

A stubborn musty smell reigns: the ultra-worn carpets as well as the unsavory towels; dirty coffee machine with repulsive yellowed filters, stained chairs, no knife, in short in a very old juice; on arrival the door code had been incorrectly programmed by the owner (it happens) but she had to be called several times but she never answered, I had to leave a voice message for her to unblock the situation, no voice communication, only by emails, I would expect better at this price (210$/night !); the room (not a bungalow) is in a very isolated block and without light in the evening - very expensive for what it is
